<strong>IR</strong> <strong>industrial</strong> <strong>robots</strong> for cost-effective,<br />

application-specific automation systems<br />

<strong>IR</strong> standard <strong>industrial</strong> <strong>robots</strong> are used in complex<br />

automation solutions. A KraussMaffei <strong>IR</strong> robot is your<br />

cost-effective route to a highly customized manufacturing<br />

cell. Engineered to exploit non-productive time, <strong>IR</strong> <strong>robots</strong><br />

enable intelligent solutions that maximize value added in<br />

plastics processing.<br />

In injection moulding applications, <strong>industrial</strong> <strong>robots</strong><br />

are used for complex demoulding and post-mould<br />

processes. Six axes mean an enormous jump in flexibility<br />

and reach compared with linear <strong>robots</strong> – for interfacing<br />

with peripheral processes, for installation options, for<br />

versatile gripper use, weight and geometry. KraussMaffei<br />

is your system supplier for application-specific<br />

manufacturing cells – from simple pick&place to<br />

complex turnkey solutions – based on proven and<br />

cost-effective standard components.


TRANSPARENT TECHNOLOGY<br />

Meet the robot: discover some key benefits<br />

of the <strong>IR</strong> series<br />

Flexibility is critical<br />

<strong>IR</strong> <strong>robots</strong> can be integrated in compact production<br />

units and even in mobile units, ready to go soon<br />

after relocation. With six servo motors, freely<br />

programmable 3D movement sequences and a<br />

wide working range, <strong>IR</strong> <strong>robots</strong> make it easy to<br />

implement complex unloading and post-mould<br />

processes using simple grippers.<br />

Simple operating concept<br />

With three levels – programming, set-up and<br />

operation – our concept helps you to allocate<br />

employee resources and skills effectively.<br />

Cost-effective turnkey systems<br />

Our system concepts are intelligently engineered<br />

and field-proven.<br />

Expandable<br />

Hardware and software are designed for easy integration<br />

of peripherals – at any time.<br />

Page 4<br />

CE conformity<br />

Guarantees safe and reliable operation and reduces<br />

your costs.<br />

Safety that grows with the system<br />

Programmable safety features can be expanded<br />

without problems if your system changes.<br />

Power supply and signal transmission<br />

An arm-mounted unit or a gripper interface module<br />

are space saving solutions and easily accessible for<br />

fast maintenance.<br />

Press-button home-position cycle<br />

Simply pressing a button returns the robot to the<br />

safe home position.<br />

The interfaces are our business<br />

As your single-contact partner, we’ll supply turnkey<br />

systems – injection moulding machine and robotics<br />

– complete and ready to go.<br />

Transparent technology<br />

Versatile and flexible, <strong>IR</strong> <strong>industrial</strong> <strong>robots</strong><br />

are a future-proof investment


Console mounting<br />

DESIGN BASICS<br />

Choose the installation option<br />

that’s best for your application<br />

KraussMaffei offers four basic options for<br />

integrating an <strong>IR</strong> robot into your production<br />

environment.<br />

Shelf mounting – optimal for large injection<br />

moulding machines<br />

The shelf-mounted <strong>IR</strong> version (S) is usually mounted<br />

on the fixed platen of the injection moulding<br />

machine. This solution is mainly used with large<br />

machines (over 600 t clamp force) or in applications<br />

where large-volume parts are produced. Shelfmounting<br />

can also be the answer when access to<br />

the mould is limited, eg, with side-mounted mould<br />

changing carriages that are wider than the daylight<br />

between the tiebars.<br />

Page 6<br />

Wall mounting<br />

Wall mounting – optimal for tight spaces<br />

The wall-mounted version (W) is the answer when<br />

production space is very limited, or when the area<br />

below the unloading position can be more productively<br />

used for another process. For example, a packing<br />

unit could be installed below the unloading station<br />

to deliver a reliable and space-saving solution that<br />

could be varied to suit your product. Wall mounting<br />

has another important benefit: since the <strong>IR</strong> robot arm<br />

can swing to the side, cycle times can be significantly<br />

reduced.<br />

<strong>IR</strong> series <strong>industrial</strong> <strong>robots</strong>


Floor mounting Integrated into the injection moulding machine<br />

Floor mounting – optimal for integrating<br />

peripherals<br />

The floor-mounted version (F) is the classic version<br />

among the various installation alternatives. Its<br />

biggest advantage is the robot’s large horizontal<br />

working radius. This action radius allows complex<br />

peripheral stations to be integrated, eg, for assembly<br />

or quality control. Floor mounting makes maximum<br />

use of the enormous flexibility of an <strong>industrial</strong><br />

robot. This mounting option can be very effective in<br />

cleanroom applications where a laminar flow box is<br />

installed above the machine.<br />

Mounting options<br />

Integration into the injection moulding machine<br />

– optimal for complex demoulding<br />

Integrated installation (I) is the option of choice<br />

when two constraints apply: space is tight and the<br />

demoulding process is complex. In this solution, the<br />

<strong>industrial</strong> robot is mechanically integrated and the<br />

safety housing of the injection moulding machine is<br />

extended. This type of integrated solution makes it<br />

possible to implement cleanroom applications simply<br />

and cost-effectively. There’s also the extra benefit of<br />

faster commissioning for your new system, because<br />

it will have come successfully through preliminary<br />

acceptance tests at the KraussMaffei factory.<br />

DETAILED PRODUCT INFORMATION<br />

Reach is the deciding factor –<br />

the right choice makes all the difference<br />

KraussMaffei offers you a decisive advantage. As<br />

your system partner, we have the resources and knowhow<br />

to deliver a complete solution – the injection<br />

moulding machine, the process engineering and<br />

after-sales service is second to none. Our knowhow<br />

will pay off for your company.<br />

Engineered for tough conditions<br />

Industrial <strong>robots</strong> were designed for harsh environments<br />

and continuous use – for example to weld<br />

automotive body parts. In plastics processing, they<br />

come nowhere near their performance limits, and<br />

therefore exhibit exceptionally low failure rates and<br />

highest availability in long-term use.<br />

Industrial <strong>robots</strong> selected and configured for your machine and application<br />

Highly dynamic servo motors, precision gearing<br />

and an intelligent controller ensure repeatable high<br />

precision. With encapsulated mechanical and<br />

electrical systems, <strong>IR</strong> <strong>robots</strong> are almost maintenance<br />

free, even in dirty environments, and have long<br />

service lives.<br />

Industrial <strong>robots</strong> exert the strength and/or sensitivity<br />

required for a specific part – whether it’s large and<br />

heavy or delicate and filigree. Even fully extended,<br />

the arm retains its enormous stiffness and its ability<br />

to manipulate the part at high speed. Programmable<br />

sensitivity and precision mean that <strong>IR</strong> <strong>robots</strong> deliver<br />

higher and more consistent product quality.<br />

Versatile and flexiblee<br />

With their reach, payload and kinematics –<br />

six axes moving freely in space – <strong>industrial</strong> <strong>robots</strong><br />

can perform the most diverse tasks. Changes to the<br />

production sequence are no problem, as long as<br />

the limits of the robot’s reach and payload are not<br />

exceeded.<br />

Industrial <strong>robots</strong> are ideal for technical cleanrooms.<br />

Investment and operating costs are often lower,<br />

because the cleanroom area can be kept small –<br />

<strong>IR</strong> <strong>robots</strong> can operate in very tight spaces.<br />

KraussMaffei experts can integrate existing and/or<br />

Detailed product information<br />

new <strong>robots</strong> and peripheral equipment from almost<br />

any manufacturer.<br />

We specialize in solutions. If six axes are not<br />

enough, eg, to service a 5400-tonne injection<br />

moulding machine, then we add additional linear<br />

axes to take the <strong>industrial</strong> robot into the machine.<br />

Or if space is limited, we’ll mount a robot on<br />

the ceiling.<br />

Return on investment<br />

The injection moulding machine sets the cycle<br />

times. If the robot can utilize non-productive<br />

time within the cycle, the whole system will operate<br />

more cost-effectively. Industrial <strong>robots</strong> with their<br />

special kinematics can fill this time with other tasks,<br />

such as deflashing, flaming or assembly. Shorter<br />

inactive periods and greater productivity result in<br />

lower manufacturing costs. The higher initial<br />

investment in an <strong>IR</strong> robot will quickly pay off.<br />

Costs can also be saved by making best use of the<br />

robot kine-matics and using simple, lower-cost<br />

grippers instead of the complex grippers demanded<br />

by other solutions. Versatile and flexible, <strong>industrial</strong><br />

<strong>robots</strong> can handle any task in injection moulding<br />

today and all foreseeable tasks in the future.<br />

And they can be easily adapted to automate<br />

other processes.<br />

ADDITIONAL PRODUCT INFORMATION<br />

Economic and process advantages are built in –<br />

it’s over to you to exploit them<br />

The <strong>IR</strong> series offers many other benefits – from the<br />

simple operating and control concept to a universal<br />

interface and CE conformity.<br />

Simple operating and control concept<br />

Our intelligent, three-level concept simplifies<br />

operation, set-up and programming. And helps you<br />

deploy your staff effectively. Operators do not need<br />

training in robot programming, because they work<br />

only with the operator panel on the robot or on the<br />

injection moulding machine. The set-up specialist<br />

will use the handheld – its simplified, uniform KMA<br />

user interface provides all the functions required<br />

to change the product, configure a program and<br />

perform diagnostics. Only the person responsible<br />

for programming the entire system needs specialized<br />

training in using the complex manufacturer user<br />

interface.<br />

Basic concept or high-end concept<br />

There are two control concepts – basic and high-end.<br />

The choice depends on the complexity of the application.<br />

The basic concept is capable of integrating<br />

simple peripheral equipment. Its components are<br />

the operator panel, the handheld with the Krauss-<br />

Maffei Automation interface, and the manufacturer<br />

interface. If several <strong>robots</strong>, or different <strong>robots</strong>, and<br />

complex peripheral equipment must be integrated,<br />

then the high-end concept is the better choice for<br />

higher level control. It is a superset of the basic<br />

concept components. The advantages of this spacesaving<br />

control concept include its ability to control<br />

any type of robot, the uniform user interface, and<br />

easy, technology-independent expansion for the user<br />

interface.<br />

Greatest convenience for production and<br />

maintenance: arm-mounted unit …<br />

Power and signal supply to the grippers<br />

Controlling demoulding, insertion and assembly<br />

grippers requires a power supply, signal inputs<br />

and outputs, monitoring functions and pneumatic<br />

valves. KraussMaffei offers two different concepts<br />

for these functions:<br />

· Arm-mounted unit<br />

An arm-mounted unit provides a centralized<br />

supply for the valves and signals for grippers or<br />

peripheral equipment. Because it is mounted on<br />

the third axis, the unit can be used for all sizes of<br />

<strong>robots</strong>. The unit is supplied via a field bus cable<br />

and pneumatic line.<br />

· Gripper interface module<br />

On large <strong>robots</strong>, a gripper interface module<br />

installed between the arm and the gripper can<br />

provide the same functions as the arm-mounted<br />

unit. The module differs from the arm-mounted<br />

unit in that it has a smaller-dimensioned air supply<br />

package and in avoiding the singularity of the<br />

robot. It extends the capabilities of the <strong>industrial</strong><br />

robot by integrating the demoulding stroke and<br />

giving the robot a wider reach.<br />

Return to home position at the touch of a button<br />

A press-button control lets the operator trigger a<br />

home-position cycle during automated operation.<br />

The freedom of movement allowed by the special<br />

kinematics of an <strong>industrial</strong> robot is inherently<br />

coupled with increased risk of collision. This risk<br />

Additional product information<br />

… or gripper interface module<br />

is also present after automated operation of the<br />

system has been shut down, if the robot is manoeuvred<br />

manually, which should naturally only be<br />

done by trained personnel. The standard programming<br />

of KraussMaffei <strong>IR</strong> <strong>industrial</strong> <strong>robots</strong> enables<br />

the home position cycle to be triggered by pressing<br />

a button on the operator panel.<br />

Programmable safety features<br />

Programmable and easily expandable safety features<br />

give you flexibility to modify or expand your<br />

automated manufacturing cells to match future<br />

requirements.<br />

Standard interface<br />

The EPS connector is the standard, universal<br />

interface for grippers and peripheral equipment.<br />

This connector ensures reliable pneumatic and<br />

electrical connections to the components. It is very<br />

compact and is available in various configurations.<br />

It also saves time and prevents incorrect connections<br />

(poke yoke principle).<br />

CE conformity<br />

Your safety and the safety of your employees<br />

are important to us. Customers who purchase<br />

complete systems are assured of CE conformity.<br />

From the moment an offer is drafted, all systems<br />

are planned to comply with applicable safety<br />

directives and regulations.<br />

Task<br />

Cleanroom production of assembly-ready, printed<br />

face panels for radios<br />

Challenge<br />

· Technical cleanroom<br />

· Precise positioning of inserts supplied precisely<br />

oriented and cleaned<br />

Solution<br />

· Proven turnkey solution consisting of a<br />

KM 350-1900 C2 injection moulding machine,<br />

an <strong>IR</strong> 500 F <strong>industrial</strong> robot, and complex<br />

peripheral equipment<br />

Products and applications<br />

· Inserts are supplied in a buffer unit that moves<br />

horizontally<br />

· Insert pick-up, centring, and dust removal in a<br />

cleaning station<br />

· The insert/demould gripper positions cleaned<br />

inserts precisely in the mould<br />

· On completion of the injection moulding process,<br />

the <strong>industrial</strong> robot unloads the finished parts<br />

and presents them to a barcode printer<br />

· After printing, the parts are placed on a<br />

conveyor belt<br />

Result<br />

· High product quality due to gentle handling and<br />

clean room environment<br />

· Integrating upstream and downstream processes<br />

cuts cycle time for faster amortization of the<br />

capital outlay by adding value beyond injection<br />

moulding.<br />
